Overview

Design & Build Quality
The Pro Evo follows the Veil Bar concealed design philosophy with premium execution. Your cartridge disappears inside, protected and hidden from view.
Construction
The silicone mouthpiece and grip provide comfortable handling with a premium feel. The device is slightly larger than the Neo (3.5" x 1.9" x 0.85") to accommodate the larger battery, but remains pocketable.
Interactive ambient tube lighting adds visual appeal, glowing during operation and indicating status. It's purely aesthetic but enhances the premium feel.
Magnetic Closure
The magnetic mouthpiece closure deserves special mention. Users consistently praise its strength:
"These magnets are strong!! Almost impossible for it to get off."
Your cartridge stays secure during pocket carry, exercise, or any normal activity. The magnetic closure also makes cleaning easier - pop it off, clean, snap it back.
Color Selection
Fifteen color options provide genuine variety: Blaze, Charcoal, Dawn, Iridescent, Meadow, Obsidian, Ocean Depths, Prism, Rose, Zenith, Amethyst, Emerald, Rose Quartz, Ruby, and Sapphire. More choices than most competitors offer.
The 1000mAh Advantage
The Pro Evo's defining feature is its 1000mAh battery - the largest in Cartisan's concealed lineup and larger than most competitors.
Real-World Battery Life
Users consistently report exceptional longevity:
"The battery lasts for about a week for me - very impressive."
In practical terms:
| Usage Level | Daily Puffs | Battery Life |
|---|---|---|
| Light | 10-20 | 5-7 days |
| Moderate | 30-50 | 2-3 days |
| Heavy | 75+ | All-day |
For comparison, the 650mAh Neo provides roughly 65% of this capacity. The difference is meaningful - heavy users get reliable all-day use, light users can forget about charging for nearly a week.
LCD Display & Puff Counter
The full-color LCD provides comprehensive information:
- Current voltage setting
- Battery level percentage
- Puff count (resets at 9,999)
- Preheat status indicator
Puff Counter Benefits
The integrated puff counter tracks your draws automatically:
- Monitor consumption: Know exactly how much you're using
- Track cartridge life: Estimate when replacement is needed
- Understand habits: See patterns in your usage
This eliminates the surprise of an empty cartridge and helps users who want to moderate consumption.
Voltage & Power
The Pro Evo offers five voltage settings with the widest range in the Veil Bar lineup:
| Setting | Voltage | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.8V | Maximum flavor, live resin |
| 2 | 2.4V | Flavor-focused vaping |
| 3 | 2.8V | Balanced everyday use |
| 4 | 3.4V | Increased vapor production |
| 5 | 4.2V | Thick distillates, maximum clouds |
The 4.2V ceiling exceeds the Neo's 3.8V, providing extra power for the thickest concentrates. The 1.8V floor preserves delicate terpenes in premium cartridges.
Dual Functionality: Carts + Wax
The included Bullet Wax Atomizer EVO adds unexpected versatility. Swap it in place of a cartridge, load concentrate directly, and use the Pro Evo as a wax pen.
Wax Performance
The atomizer handles occasional dabbing adequately:
- Works with standard wax and shatter
- Uses the same voltage settings
- Provides backup capability for concentrate users
It won't replace a dedicated wax pen for heavy dab users, but it's a genuine bonus for users who occasionally want concentrate capability without carrying multiple devices.
Additional Features
8-Second Preheat
Double-click to activate an 8-second preheat cycle at gentle temperature. This warms thick oils for smooth draws and prevents the clogs that plague viscous cartridges.
Dual Activation
Choose your preferred firing method:
- Button: Precise control for measured draws
- Auto-draw: Just inhale to fire
Switch between methods based on situation and preference.
Cartridge Compatibility
The Pro Evo accepts cartridges up to 14.5mm diameter and 62mm height - large enough for 2-gram cartridges. The concealment chamber accommodates virtually any standard cart.
User Feedback
The Pro Evo enjoys strong reviews:
"Works great, totally recommend!"
"Worth every penny... been looking for one of these for years."
VapeGuy rates it 4.8/5 stars and recommends it as the #1 fully-concealed battery. The consensus: premium pricing delivers premium results.

Who Should Buy This
The Veil Bar Pro Evo makes sense if you:
- Want the longest battery life in a concealed design
- Value puff tracking for consumption awareness
- Appreciate wax versatility occasionally
- Need maximum voltage range for thick oils
- Prefer buying once rather than upgrading later
Look elsewhere if you:
- Prioritize compact size (Neo is smaller)
- Want minimum cost (Slim Button 280 is $10)
- Need pass-through charging
- Don't need puff counting or wax capability
The Bottom Line
The Cartisan Veil Bar Pro Evo is the most capable fully-concealed 510 battery we've tested. The 1000mAh battery genuinely delivers multi-day use, the puff counter adds meaningful utility, and the included wax atomizer provides versatility no competitor matches at this price.
At $34-40, it's not the cheapest option. But for users who want to buy the best once rather than upgrading later, the Pro Evo justifies its premium positioning. This is the concealed battery flagship.
